The Iley Knight Initiative, Inc (Tiki) - Helping Families
2026 DATES - FEB 19, 20 and 21.
THANK YOU EVERYONE INVOLVED!!
Thanks to an amazing team of riders, sponsors and people who pledged, both of our 2025 Snowmobile events were huge successes.
Are you interested in riding in the 600 mile challenge?
TODAY IS THE DAY
THE CHALLENGE STARTS TODAY
February 19 and 20th, 2026
The miles per day a sledder can ride varies on many different things. The average rider rides about 40-60 miles in one day, the more experienced rider can push 100-150 per day. It takes a rider with years of experience to ride 200 miles in one day. Riding 200 miles over three consecutive days will be a big challenge. To ride 600 miles in three days means the riders will have to endure any type of trail condition and weather, limited breaks and pushing themselves and their sleds to the limit.
The ride will include solo and team riders . The teams will be followed by a chase team who will always be within 20 miles of the team. This is
NOT A RACE however, it will be a huge endurance test of the team members, their sleds and equipment of riders.
In 2026 the Tiki 600-mile challenge will be a 100-mile loop on the east side of 906 (see map below). Riders will start/check-in at the Sno Shu Inn, ride the course and check out at the Sno Shu Inn. 100 mile check-ins will be required for social media productions. Rides/Teams can run the loop any time after they check-in. However, support will only be provided from 8am to 8pm on Thursday and Friday. You can ride one or both days. A warming station will be provided at the Sho Shu Inn.
